"...also read DOCS/bugreports.html"..


so find this file on your harddisk.... if you're using an rpm version,
it probable is somewhere like /usr/share/mplayer or
/usr/share/doc/mplayer... or better: open it from the web:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/bugreports.html

a complete bugreport means that you read the whole page, and provide ALL
the info it's said you should provide... yes... it's a lot of info...
but if you only send partial info, the developers will reply to you,
like:
-ok, but now please provide info X too
-you provide info X
-ok, but now please provide info Z too
-you provide info Z
-ok, but now please..... well...i'm tired... i won't work on this bug
more

so it's better to provide all the info ...

remember it's a lot better to provide MORE than needed info than LESS
than needed info


hope this helps,
gabor
